Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 1 to 5. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Robert Fredy was the general manager of a large hotel in Ashbury park, New Jersey. One cold day two years ago when he stopped his car at a traffic light, Stephen Pearman, an out-of-work taxi and truck driver, walked up to Fredy's car hoping to earn some change by washing his windshield. Like many motorists who try to keep the beggars off, Fredy turned on the wipers to show he wasn't interested. Pearman put his head close to the window. "Come on, mister. Give me a chance. I need a job," he said. Something in Stephen Pearman's voice moved Robert Fredy. In the seconds before traffic started moving again, Fredy handed a business card and told him to call if he was serious. "My friends told me Fredy was just pulling my leg, "said Pearman. "But I said, "No, he's a businessman. I need to give it a shot." Two days later, 29-year-old Pearman appeared in the manager's office of the big hotel. Fredy gave him a job and housing and lent him pocket money while training him. Today, Pearman works full time setting up the hotel's dining halls for business meetings. In the past two years, he has found a flat, married and repaid Fredy's loans. "Mr. Fredy gave me a second chance, "says Pearman," And I took advantage of it. I could have just come here a while, eaten up and left. But there is no future in washing windshields." Ordinarily, Fredy keeps away from the street people. "But Pearman seemed so honest and open, asking for a chance rather than just money," Fredy says, "I don't hand my business card to just anybody. But I'm glad I did in this case."

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 1 to 5. Some people argue that self-plagiarism (自我剽窃) is impossible by definition because plagiarism is theft and people cannot steal from their own work. But, this is not correct in law. And there are circumstances, such as insurance fraud (保险欺), etc., when it is possible to steal from oneself. Self-plagiarism, however, must be carefully distinguished from the recycling of one's work that to a greater or lesser extent everyone legally does. Self-plagiarism in academic (学术的) publications is a gray area. However, many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive. They publish rules preventing students from handing in basically the same essay for credit in different courses. There are also rules against someone handing in the same graduate thesis to different universities. Among established academics, self-plagiarism is a problem. It means basically the same article or book is handed in on more than one occasion for salary raising or promotion. Like all plagiarism the essence of self-plagiarism is the author' attempts to cheat the reader. This happens when no indication is given that the work is being recycled or when an effort is made to disguise the original text. For example, an author just makes cosmetic changes to make the same article, chapter, or book look different. But actually it remains unchanged in its central argument. In this case, disguising a text occurs. Authors change such things as paragraph breaks, capitalization, or the substitution of technical terms in different languages. What he has done is to make readers believe they are reading something completely new. This practice is self-plagiarism.
1. In the second sentence of the first paragraph, "this" refers to ______.
A.all the activities about plagiarism
B.the activities of self-plagiarism
C.the argument for the impossibility of self-plagiarism
D.the argument for the possibility of self-plagiarism
Task 3 Directions: Read the following passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No.1 to No.5). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. This second volume in the series of Classics of American Librarianship is devoted to library work with children. As stated in the preface to the first volume, on "Library and School", the papers chosen are primarily of historic rather than of present-day value, although many of them embody (包含) principles which govern the practice of today. They have been grouped under general headings in order to bring more closely together material relating to the same or to similar subjects. Several different phases of children's work are thus represented, although no attempt has been made to make the collection comprehensive. Book-selection for children has not been included, since it is expected that this subject will be treated in another volume as part of the general subject of book-selection. In the same way, material on training for library work with children has been reserved for a volume on library training. The present volume is an attempt to bring together in accessible (可达到的) form papers representing the growth and tendencies of forty years of library work with children.

Task 5 Directions:After reading it, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No.1 to No.5) that follow. The answers (in no more than 3 words) should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you? "I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that's all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldn't know what to do, or how to look after ourselves," said Zheng Chenyu. "And I'd forget something important. I'd probably watch television and bum the soup. " "As soon as I leave home, I'll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We're very lazy." she said. Most teenagers have only time for their homework. They don't learn any life skills until they go to college. However, Sima Yige doesn't think so. "I think I'd be all right. I wouldn't just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook, some simple dishes because my mum showed me", the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion, many teenagers depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like "tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly". For most teenagers it wouldn't be a holiday at all.
1. Why would Zheng Chenyu probably bum the soup? Because he probably watch television and ______.
